Hair Extension Facts
What Are Hair
Extensions :
As the name implies,
Hair Extensions are applied to your existing hair to give
your natural hair more length, volume, or character. They
are attached by a variety of means to your natural hair,
close to the scalp and are then cut and styled as an
integral part of your hair.
What Can They DO :
Hair Extensions are
used to make your natural hair much longer, or to add
more strands of hair, resulting in thicker, more
voluminous hair, or to create additional texture, or a
combination of any or all of these at the same time. The
Extensions can be selected to match the colour of the
natural hair to which they are attached or can be of a
different shade to give the finished style more character.
Some (but not all) Hair Extensions can be coloured using
hair treatments found in hair salons.
Are All
Hair Extensions The Same :
There are many
different types of Hair Extensions on the market. Some
are made from real Human Hair, while others are made from
synthetic fibres which attempt to imitate Human Hair.
Even Human Hair varies, depending on the Climate and
growth conditions to which the hair has been subjected.
How Much Do Hair Extensions Cost :
Some Hair Extensions
are available on the internet for only a few pounds. The
very best quality Hair Extensions are very expensive.
This reflects the care and attention which has been shown
in treating the hair used in the extensions.
In addition to the cost of the hair itself there is also
the cost of the Stylist's time to fit them.
Generally, as with most things in this world, you get
what you pay for !
Can I Fix
Them In Place Myself :
Some types of Hair
Extension are designed to be clipped in place and these
can often be fitted and removed by the wearer. More
permanent types need to be bonded to the natural hair and
this requires a trained Stylist. Many people also forget
that the newly installed hair will need to be trimmed and
styled to achieve a professional look.
How Are Hair Extensions Removed :
Clip in Hair Extensions
can simply be unclipped. Bonded types can be unbonded.
Can I Re-Use
My Hair Extensions :
Clip in Hair Extensions
can simply be unclipped, stored safely and re-used at a
later date. Bonded types can be unbonded and stored for
re-use after new bonds are attached.
